Our parents invest a lot in us. They start out by spending countless sleepless nights, feeding us, bathing us, changing us and rocking us to sleep. As we reach adolescence, they take care of our education, our friendships, our hobbies and our quirks. They guide us towards right and wrong, they teach us values and how to live in a civilized society.

When we grow older – they stand by us through our trials and tribulations. They give us comfort and advice when we are down, and rejoice with us in our highs. So, when there comes a time to celebrate this special bond, we often find ourselves in a fix. What do you gift a parent who has already given you so much?

#47 Floor Mat Exit Alarm for Elderly

Dementia wandering and risk of fall are two major problems that caregivers face when dealing with the elderly. Due to lack of bodily strength or diseases such as arthritis, getting out of bed and standing on the floor becomes a challenge in old age.

Dementia patients often lose a sense of time of day and the place where they are. This causes them to wander off at odd times of the day without the means or sense to get back to their home. This can be a dangerous scenario because they are prone to accidents, being mugged or even more dire consequences.

The Floor Mat exit alarm for elderly is a fall-prevention as well anti-wandering alarm system that uses pressure sensing mats to judge if your loved one is trying to get up from bed or is moving out the door. The floor mat senses a change in pressure when someone steps on it. When attached with an alarm system, it can inform a caregiver that the patient/senior is trying to move (either off the bed or out the house).

The alarm features an on/off switch so that it can be reset after responding to the loved one. There is a volume adjustment control how loud the alarm needs to be.

The floor mat itself is made of 24 X 48 inch non slip heavy vinyl. It has a cord attaching it to the alarm system. The alarm system does not need electricity, it works on 3 AA batteries and it can be installed easily.
